Since you are with us, you get to help us make the rules. Of late it seems that it is used for non-music related questions, comments, thoughts and stories. It may be like just a light conversation piece, or just killing time, or getting through a bad day, or anything non-academic (if you will). Or, just don't use it. It is what you make it. Don't sweat the rules, cause there aint none. Max RE: Explain the BS rules 26 Oct 99
When Max explains to our forum something different to the above - I will expect the posting of BS on our forum to be undertaken on a different basis to what he has stated here.
And he of course has spoken repeatedly over the ensuing years adding in rules as needed through Pene or Joe or the addition of Clones.......But you reuse to accept these things even though they are his answer and in your face.

It is hard to remenber just how seriously things were taken back then.
A good example was the rather intense young man who was asking Bob Dylan about the deep meaning of the cover photo for Highway 61 and thought the choice of clothing for it - was of great significance.
Even when he was told by the man who should know - he was not prepared to accept the answer.
You ask it of others.....ask it of yourself. You have the answer, try to accept it.
